What about the impact factor for IJHPM? How do I know that my manuscript will be accessible to other scientists?

The IJHPM Impact Factor is 3.821!


Journal impact factors are a function of how many times manuscripts in a journal are cited by other authors. Obviously, it will take some time for a newly launched journal to have enough manuscripts; so that an impact factor could be calculated. However, there are other factors involved in achieving a high impact factor. One of these is accessibility. Other authors cannot cite your manuscript if they are unaware of it, or cannot find it. A listing of databases, indexes and archives that provide access to IJHPM manuscripts include: PubMed / ISI Web of Knowledge / Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) / Index Medicus (IMEMR) / EBSCOhost / Ulrich Global Serials Directory / International Political Science Abstracts (IPSA) / OCLC Worldcat / Google Scholar / Social Science Research Network (SSRN) / Islamic World Science Citation Center (ISC) / Scientific Information Database (SID) / Magiran / Directory of Research Journals Indexing (DRJI) and etc.
